New Moon Intentions in Taurus 2017
I wrote this for posting in one of my groups, so I thought I would share my thoughts with all of you as well.
Here are a few things to keep in mind for setting your new moon intentions right now. I am no astrologist, so if you are please feel free to add your input.
Mercury is in retrograde. Do not write abundance checks as communication and electronics tend to be out of whack right now. Mercury goes direct May 3rd, so if you want to set intentions for prosperity, think long term when setting them.
We are just out of a Venus retrograde and the effects may still be lingering as personal relationships have gone under a lot of change recently. Now is not the time to ask for that new love of your life. Patience again.
Jupiter is still in retrograde until June 9th. Jupiter rules wealth and joviality and you may be feeling the lack right now. It is time to set intentions of being grateful for what you already have
Saturn retrograde is running until August 25. Saturn in direct is a teacher and symbolizes our will to move forward and to fulfill our commitments. Right now you may feel frustrated and overwhelmed. Any intention set should reflect a shedding of things that no longer serve you and finding what is truly important for you to commit to right now.
Pluto has one of the longest retrogrades and will go direct September 28.Pluto represents the underworld and our shadow selves. You may find past issues you have with your inner self are resurfacing to be dealt with once again. You may be struggling to define just who you are. Intentions should be based on helping you accept and release those things so you may be empowered in the long run.
This new moon falls in Taurus. Take some time to study the characteristics of a Taurus if you are not one. Intentions should be set for this one in regards to self-love, long term gains in mind, body and spirit. (All your houses, home, love, career, wealth etc) Embrace the patience that Taurus shows us and taking joy in the now. There are no quick fixes here, no magical potions. It is common sense and acceptance of what is, while having faith that the best things in life are on their way. Plan today, enjoy now, look forward to your tomorrows.
